ICEFAT Member Beweship
Professional packing and crating are fundamental to any art logistics supplier, ensuring that the latest materials are being used and that staff are trained to confidently choose those which are most appropriate to the consignment. Where works of art are being transported in cargo boxes, it is not always practical nor possible to ensure 24/7 monitoring of the cargo. In this instance, ICEFAT requires members to build cargo boxes of a rigid construction secured with a high security lock.
Shipping internationally or domestically requires our members to follow robust chain of custody procedures. This is where the value of ICEFAT membership comes to the fore. Our international community of members provides a direct business opportunity for collaboration, supplying a global service with unsurpassed local knowledge. Transporting objects of high value – be it financial or historical – comes with a level of risk, which is why these Standards provide assurance to collectors and institutions around the world who understand that compromising on price and quality ultimately jeopardizes our cultural heritage. All ICEFAT members are audited for Standards by EY (formerly Ernst & Young), a third-party auditor.
